The hottest Fiesta to date and younger brother to the Focus ST is equipped with a 1.6 litre EcoBoost engine with 182 PS and 240 Nm of torque. Paired to a six-speed manual transmission, the turbo engine pushes the three-door hatch from 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. Top speed is 220 km/h.

Developed by Ford Team RS, the European arm of Ford’s Global Performance Vehicle group, the Fiesta ST gets uniquely tuned suspension, steering and brakes, and introduces features only previously found in larger performance cars such as enhanced Torque Vectoring Control (eTVC) and 3-mode ESC (full system intervention, wide-slip mode with limited intervention and full ESC off)

Both systems support a specially modified front steering knuckle, adapted rear twist-beam with increased roll-stiffness, unique front and rear spring and damper settings, and a 15 mm lower centre of gravity. Inside, the racy feel is delivered by ST logos, Recaro seats and a Sound Symposer that channels the engine note to the cabin.

Sounds delicious doesn’t it? The 50 pics after the jump should make you even more hungry!

Danny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats. He has been in the auto industry since 2006, previously filling the pages of two motoring magazines before joining this website. Enjoys detailing the experience more than the technical details.

I’am not really a fan of the post-FL looks of “Aston Martin grill” Fords, will still prefer the original, looks abit gaping to me and therefore, quite far away from beauty. But yeah, I’ll admit the Toyota broke me crossed finger and gave us a disappointing spec vios. What’s so exciting about that car? It will be in the price range of most Malaysian, will it be as successful as B4 is another question. This in the other-hand is already considered rather pricey even in the US.

Best selling car in the world is still the Corolla. While 60,449 at 2nd place is the Fiesta bigger brother, the Focus, Both cars are the only ones that registered sales in the 7 digit. Not bad for Ford. Their One world program is starting to shape up.
